More than likely, but he's also a much better player. He's defensed more passes than Finnegan despite being in the league less time. He's younger, bigger, faster, can play in man and zone.

Let's face it, Finnegan isn't a man corner. He's at his very best in zone, that's why he moves inside in the nickel. He proved in 2010 he can't play both sides, so he can't mirror an offense's best WR for a whole game. If you can't play man you don't deserve to get paid like a premier corner.

When was the last time you can remember Finnegan making a nice play in coverage? I remember a play against Brandon Marshall in 2010...

LOL - that article bears no new insight on the Finny situation.
I'm w Deuce here, you gotta keep Finny even if you tag him. He's a known quantity and The Titans would certainly replace him with "potential". Ugh.

Actually, you've got this one completely wrong. Finny was moved inside in Nickel situations to take out the slot WR, which in most offensive schemes is the biggest threat on 3rd down or passing situations while keeping our other CBs on the field in their comfort zone. To add to that, our DC saw the flexibility to have our most ferocious defender closer to the line to bring the pain on opposing QBs, I love that! So basically, his value went UP because he was able to jump inside ala Charles Woodson during different packages and also bring more heat off the edge to an already anemic pass rush.

For all you guys contending that Leadership is overrated, let me ask you what happened the last time we overtook a leadership overhaul? What happened when we didn't sign Bulluck or Mawae? those guys were the heart,soul and respective pulse of our team. Without Finny, our defense is just a bunch of guys going through the motions getting their asses handed to them and never standing up for themselves to stop the bleeding. Have you ever seen a team like that and just felt sick? You think the Jason Jones' of the world can lead our team? Hahaha, this defense has no identity without Finnegan.:grrr:
